Aubree has a bag that contains orange chews, apple chews, and watermelon chews. She performs an experiment. Aubree randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Aubree performs the experiment 51 times. The results are shown below:
A orange chew was selected 25 times.
A apple chew was selected 16 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 10 times.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Aubree removes from the bag will be orange or apple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
The probability of selecting an orange or apple chew is the sum of the probability of selecting an orange chew and the probability of selecting an apple chew.
Probability of selecting an orange chew = 25/51
Probability of selecting an apple chew = 16/51
Therefore, probability of selecting an orange or apple chew = (25/51) + (16/51) = 41/51
Expressing it as a decimal to the nearest hundredth, we get 0.80.
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Aubree removes from the bag will be orange or apple is 0.80.
To find the probability of selecting an orange or apple chew, we need to add the number of times an orange chew was selected to the number of times an apple chew was selected.
Orange chew selected: 25 times
Apple chew selected: 16 times
Total = 25 + 16 = 41
To get the probability, we divide the total by the total number of experiments:
Probability = Total/Number of Experiments = 41/51 ≈ 0.80
Therefore, the probability that the next chew Aubree removes from the bag will be orange or apple is approximately 0.80.
